THERAPIST | APCC #13426
Hi I'm Suzanne,
I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and I believe therapy can help anyone change for the better. I seek to provide therapy to individuals of all backgrounds, providing a warm, nonjudgmental, open-minded, safe, informed, helpful space to come alongside clients and help them grow in health. I have provided therapy to people with issues such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, stress, addiction, substance and alcohol abuse, family issues, domestic violence, and relational struggles including issues with attachment and boundaries. My experience is in providing individual and group therapy with adults who are dual diagnosed and receiving substance abuse treatment. I have specialized in helping people who are recovering from substance use disorder, using various therapeutic approaches, and addressing their needs holistically to increase balance and health.
My approach is client centered, solution focused, trauma informed, and psychodynamic. Other approaches that I use include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, family systems, motivational interviewing, and a focus on building healthy attachments and boundaries. My work with clients is supportive, addressing goals and growth needs while using psychoeducation when needed to increase healthy skills and insight. My education included attending The Townsend Institute at Concordia University, Irvine, which emphasized building healthy relational attachments and boundaries.
During my free time I enjoy learning and my interests include spirituality, having a healthy lifestyle, travel, and spending time with loved ones in nature. I hope to connect with you soon!
